'The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane.' (Gandalf)

The Dark Lord also bred specialist trolls. Here we see an example of the Ghâsh-Olog, the fire troll. I played around a lot with this model, using some MiG pigments and effects, it was fun and I learned some useful techniques! Figures are Dark Alliance 1/72 War Trolls.

The last of the Tudors below. These 1/72 Linear-b figures paint up really well. As you can see I have borrowed a backdrop from Vincent Van Gogh - The old church tower at Nuenen. I also employed a fair bit of Photoshop, in particular using the healing brush tool to change the bases into shadows for the latter few images. The jury is out on that effect, let me know what you think.
